❀ Aoife Watanabe ❀

Aoife is half Japanese and half Irish. She loves cellphone charms and collecting figures like nendoroids and figmas. She excels in Maths and Physics, but is terrible at French. Her ambition is to become a doctor, or at least a hot nurse, because she loves helping people. In her free time she is a candy striper, and she changes her cell phone charm frequently to entertain patients in the children ward. The cellphone charm of the day will be the main character in the stories she tells the children.

Her favorite fruit is the soft, fragrant green pear, and her favorite color is peach. Dont ask me if it's pink or a kind of pale orange, I wouldn't know. Her favorite drink is boba milk tea and loves vanilla cream puff.

Aoife's not so big on sports or watching TV. Cooking? not really either. But she loves hanging out with her friends and do group things, like going to karaoke or the arcade. and Aoife misses her father terribly. Her father is a sea captain and frequently travels so she's always with her Irish mother who is infatuated with Japanese culture.

Aoife wants nothing but the best for people around her, always happy and energetic which also make her a target for bullying among the dolls, especially by the Momokos.

Although Aoife is keeping her stock white DDS body with shapely L bust, I am still looking for her wig and eyes :3

I never thought I would win three dolls and a dress set from the Volks JP Dolpa 26 lottery. Ms. Mariko is one of them.I didn't intend to keep her, but when I saw her face while inspecting the contents of her box, I fell in love. Because of my previous bad experience with my first DD, a Yukino, she remained in her packaging for a long time until well into April. In May, I finally have a name for her. Aoife, pronounced "ee + fa" or Eva. It's Irish, meaning “beautiful, radiant, joyful.”

Name history : Known as the greatest woman warrior in the world, Aoife was the mother of Cuchulainn’s (read the legend) only son, Connlach. Aoife Dearg (“Red Aoife”) was a daughter of a king of Connacht who had her marriage arranged by St. Patrick himself. Isn't that a strong name?

Name Fact : In 2003 Aoife was the third most popular Irish girls name for babies in Ireland. ^0^source: Irish girl names

I was very fascinated with Irish culture, I have a Claddagh ring, I read books on Irish folklores and watched stuff like the Book of Kells. I stumbled on the name Aoife in the novel 'Darling Jim' by Christian Mørk.
